The Outlandish Companion by Diana
Gabaldon
Outlandish Companion
For nine years, four books, and nearly 4,000 pages, Diana Gabaldon has
entranced readers with her talent for historical authenticity, dramatic plot
lines, and strong characters in the Outlander series. Her superb writing
has earned a loyal audience, but after a million and a half words, e ven the
most fervent of fans may have a difficult time trying to recall the exact
details of the secondary characters, let alone the obscure ones.
Thankfully, Gabaldons The Outlandish Companion is here to help. Part
crib notes and part trivia guide, this essential handbook includes synopses
of the first four novels, a character guide, notes on plot development and
research, answers to frequently asked questions, and teasers for the
upcoming novels--therere even horoscope charts of the central
characters, a list of fan Web sites, and choice recipes for the truly
devoted. Readers looking for a fix of Gabaldons humorous voice or insight
into her writing processes and characters will certainly be more than
satisfied, but those looking for the next installment of Jamie and Claires
adventures will have to wait for The Fiery Cross, the fifth book in this
bestselling series, expected sometime in late 1999 to early 2000. --Nancy

This companion only encompasses the first 4 books of the series but
reveals an immense amount of information and insight! From reading the
synopsis (over 200 pages long for sure) to discovering the histories of
main characters and showing how their family trees connect and interact.
Theres an extensive section on Gaelic (with brief instruction on basic
spelling, grammar and pronunciation) the meanings of certain phrases is
handy to have. I have not come anywhere CLOSE to finishing the
Outlandish Companion but I hope there will be another one encompassing
the entire series!
